Going in for the Fall/Winter for a fresh coat of paint!
Hi folks!

Just thought I'd let y'all know that my 93 TWF is going in for some minor body work and a fresh coat of paint on the 12th of October... I told the body shop (a friend of mine) that I don't really need it back until sometime in March. I'll miss the fall driving, but knowing that in the spring she'll be all fresh and sparkly is exciting...

I'll keep you all posted!

Absolutely intended... An old family friend that owns an amazing body shop in Midland Park (and also does restos) is doing it for me...

Post up some before and after pics. I am thinking of taking mine in for a few touch ups and to repair the door mouldings this winter.

I am also considering taking it up a notch, thinking since I am going to have them mix up some paint, add a Cobra R hood. Cervinis is down the road from here and since mine is modded, why not?? Any thoughts on the hood?

Here are the befores:


The whole car before, I did the top & interior last winter...


Right front fender/valance (cracked)


Front of hood (a few dings)


Right front bumper (paint damage due to battery explosion before I bought it)


Right rear bumper (rolled into my old Escape, oops!)


Right rear quarter (the only significant rust visible on the car)


Right rear quarter (tiny rust spot, I'm sure there's more underneath)


Hood (dings)


Trunk (dings)


Left rear quarter (ding)


Underhood (paint damage due to battery explosion before I bought it)
